Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (5,6) and (-1,-6).

The midpoint is
(Type an ordered pair. Use integers or simplified fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

Answer 1

The midpoint is (2,0)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(5+-1)/2 =4/2 =2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(6+-6)/2 =0/2 =0

The midpoint is (2,0)
